When you told me that you'd love me til the day you die
I couldn't ever imagine that you'd be leaving that night
And when the stars come out I look around for your face in the sky
And I will hold your name on high
I will hold your name on high...
[Verse 1]
Should have kept the keys
Should have blocked the door
Should have called the cops
Should have...
Should have screamed your name
Should have grabbed your arm,
and begged you to stay
Should have...
And it's not fair at all how that mistake
Was enough to give you the choice you made...
[Chorus]
When you told me that you'd love me til the day you die
I couldn't ever imagine that you'd be leaving that night
And when the stars come out I look around for your face in the sky
And I will hold your name on high
I will hold your name on high
[Verse 2]
Should have let you talk
Should have dried your eyes
Should have made myself apologize
Should have held your hand
Say I understand
Should have kept you close
Should have
And I wonder if the time keeps passing by
Because I let you put your coat back on, that night
[Chorus]
When you told me that you'd love me til the day you die
I couldn't ever imagine that you'd be leaving that night
And when the stars come out I look for your face in the sky
And I will hold your name on high
I will hold your name on high
[Bridge]
Oh, I'll hold your name on high
And I wont let a single person dim your light
And I wish I would have known
But you needed to leave me far behind
[Chorus]
When you told me that you'd love me til the day you die
I couldn't ever imagine that you'd be leaving that night
And when the stars come out I look for your face in the sky
And I will hold your name on high
I will hold your name on high
Oh!
When you told me that you'd love me til the day you die
I couldn't ever imagine that you'd be leaving that night
And when the stars come out I look for your face in the sky
And I will hold your name on high
I will hold your name on high
